Chinese MALE, HALE (and rotary, small, suicide) UAV/UCAV thread

Another drone being developed by Red Kestrel. It can carry 300 rounds of ammunition when paired with a QJY-201.

I hate the idea of mounting a gun on a multi-axis. Why not use a grenade launcher instead

A Haiyan meteorological UAV flew into typhoon Prapiroon and conduct detailed surveys.

It is a Wingloong-10 and it is funny how they just keep on renaming it Cloudshadow and now Haiyan-1.

Naming does a weird thing
In case of this could be demilitary cause

I would suspect this is more an anti drone drone than a ground attack

Try and put a man through a dense forest before you try your fancy robot dogs. You may not have been into a wild, unmanaged forest but there is no pleasant path to take, only large bushes and fallen trees everywhere. A man can barely walk through such areas, let alone a little robot dog. Forests with no growth on the ground are generally not found in the areas that China will most likely be using artillery.
And besides, we're illuminating targets for artillery. A small quadcopter will illuminate the foliage above the target just fine, no need for a robot to go illuminate the ground near the target, only for the shell to not be able to see the laser illumination. Because the laser is obscured by the dense forest's foliage.

I can already predict how to solve this PLA style. They'll make a larger low flying FPV that carries the dog to where it needs to go.

I'm calling it, one of the cambrian explosion drone companies will show one during the next expo.

Right before in this thread is already a mothership drone which can probably act as a relay for better signalling. For the same weight as a rifle+ammo and stabilisation(6kg). You can fit up to 8 FPV with a 40mm grenade warhead. Gun on drones never made much sense to me.
